This is the day of the Niigata Prefectural Qualifying Tournament. It was the day of the Niigata Prefectural Qualifying Tournament for the Reward and Wonen National Player's Rights, and the top eight semi-finalists were to be decided through eight matches. One of the matchups at the Kariyu Stadium was the traditional powerhouse Niigata Akitsui versus Kaishi Kokusai, with both teams defeating their opponents 4-0 the day before to advance to the final.
Kaiji International (Red)
At the sound of the whistle, Kai Chi International quickly passed the ball long to the right side of the field, and the two sides started the duel by fighting for space on the side of the field. In the first half of the game, both sides were evenly matched, and KCI's numerical superiority in the midfield was effective in restricting the space available in the middle of the field for Ming Xun, and with the advantage that the players on the left and right side of the field could take the ball with the first touch and complete the transmission, Ming Xun's goal had a number of dangerous situations.
However, traditional powerhouse Ming Xun was patient and waited for a flaw in Kai Chi's midfield conduction and managed to launch a counterattack breakthrough from the left side of the field to open the first record. There were cheers from the next cheering section, but there wasn't much celebration from the Mingshun players. On the field, the Kai Chi international players didn't look shaken by the loss of the goal.
Then, both teams pressed the tempo faster, because of the intense pressing, the number of set-pieces also became more frequent, in order to prevent Niigata Akitsugu's transmission, Kai Chi International also faced the number of corner kicks to defend more often. It is often said that 30% of the goals in a soccer field come from set-pieces. Giving the opponent many chances from set-pieces will lead to more crises in front of the goal, but Kai Chi survived the crises.
At the end of the first half, Kaizen International was down 0:1 for the time being. In this school, there are three international students from Taiwan. They were also on the pre-match roster on this day, warming up and caring about the conditions on the field while trying to advance to the top eight with the third graders.
Koshihisa Soccer Study Abroad Part 2 - Lost Nets, Frustration, Self-Doubt
Go back in time to July.
Compared to last year, this year's Kaiji International soccer team has become much larger, and can be divided into 1 or 2 teams to compete in the regional league, and will also be divided into 1 or 2 teams to practice, and through the promotion and elevation system to strengthen the competitive atmosphere of the team. July is considered to be the preparatory period for Japan's high school soccer team, in order to meet the National Player's Rights Conference, which will begin in October, the schools will use this period to enhance the players' ability to play on the field, and in just two weeks, the Kaiji International team will have 4 or 2 players replaced. In just two weeks, there will be 4-5 replacements in the first and second teams of Kaiji International.
How to kick is weird, the feeling that was so hard to pull up last week is gone .....
Cai Yi-ie, who has been a member of Kaizen International since April, was one of those who was promoted to the first team the week before, and then placed back on the second team the following week. One week he was taking pictures with my camera and talking about how I could take better pictures than you, but the next week he was always looking worried after practice!
Hitting the wall on your favorite soccer ball is a challenge that players in their formative years are bound to encounter, as well as having to listen to what the coach is saying in a second foreign language that you are unfamiliar with, and the connection between yourself and your teammates is sometimes ok, and sometimes it seems like the connection is off. In addition, the rivalry is more intense and the pace is faster than in Taiwan. In the first team, I felt like I was gradually getting back the feeling, but in the second team, it was like a reboot with no archive.
They will also find that what they call soccer abroad looks different from Taiwan, and all of a sudden they run from 2D into 3D, and the weapons and vision they were good at seem to be out of whack.
The players who play in front of the ball seem to have to carry the opposing defenders, and the emphasis is always on confrontation.
Zeng Zile, who used to excel in speed and dribbling in the national high school, took a lot of time to get used to the team's requirement for front court players to use their bodies against defenders in the faster-paced Japan. In addition, Niigata strong school defenders in the space judgment, prediction of the overall situation than Taiwan, his speed sometimes can not take advantage of what, his head still have to spend effort to the coach's reminder of the training in the day turn in.
So, would Chen Shixian, entering his second year, be in the best shape as an international student? No. He probably has more worries and frustrations than the first two.
I've been feeling bad about my performance and I don't seem to be growing .... Why did you come to Japan in the first place?
This year's first year of Kaishiki International's soccer team is filled with interesting players, including a former Niigata Swan U15 youth training starting goalkeeper and a player from Kansai with excellent footwork, which stimulates the intensity of the team's rivalry. In addition to the second year, Kaiji International's goal is to reach the top 8 or even the top 4 in the Prefectural Conference, and the supervisor, Goh Okubo, is starting to add the Kaiji International soccer team he wants to play to the original basic principles of coaching.
Strikers don't run straight through when defending the press, they have to be aware of their opponent's habitual foot, anticipate his next step and go to block the passing route.
Look at where you are with your teammates to press, pressing is about putting pressure on the opponent, not giving up your space to the opponent! Establish a high to low risk space judgment!
